Again, I've already repeated this multiple times throughout the thread. I appreciate that you recognize these things and that we are in agreement. I am happy for that, but in this situation, one side will not listen no matter what. There's only a few that did listen and surprise surprise, I can see that the concepts of LOO are not lost on them and I'd be proud to be among other wanderers like them.
Quote:I'm really so sorry to say that but is my humble opinion: the vast majority of the right wing politics is derived from a STS perspective.
Okay here's where your comments became weak. This is the same type of polarization that's present in all politics and when you start to take sides, you also become polarized because you are not looking at it in a balanced way. It's not a simple issue.

On Economic Policy, here is what it says for right wing
Quote:Lower taxes; less regulation on businesses; reduced government spending; balanced budget.
Is that service to self?
Quote:Oppose government-provided universal healthcare and the Affordable Care Act. Favor competition to Medicare from private insurance companies; oppose Medicaid expansion.
Is that service to self? It's not all that it seems because the ACA is socialism and I can tell you from my friends experience that this system is STS. He's a staunch Democrat too. But he knows from experience that he's paying into the ACA, he gets the basic services that he doesn't even need, meanwhile a bigger family, just because they have a family, get premium and better/more services then he does while PAYING THE SAME COST. How is that not service to self? It's government mandated that you HAVE to pay into the system. So these people are forcing people like my friend (who is single and single household) to pay into the system so that other people can benefit off of him.
Now Republicans are in a difficult spot where if they pull the ACA, they are also pulling people who need the system. An action that does not contain compassion. However the system itself also lacks compassion and that is compassion for the individual worker. So to call one system over the other STS or STO is not very accurate. You cannot look at it like that. It is a difficult balance that must be achieved, even if it seems STS.
